P. Proposed Amendment to Goveming Regulations: Technical Corrections (FCR 2)
Mr. Stuckert, chair ofthe Finance Committee, said FCR l was approved by consent
earlier in the meeting and FCR 2 is a proposed amendment to the Goveming Regulations. He
referred to the proposed revisions in the background section.
• Paragraph 3 — In order to bring GR II into consistency with GR XIII, the Business
Procedures manual is added to the types of University regulations and policies
that the President is authorized by the Board of Trustees to promulgate.
• Section A. 2(b) - The language defining the status of faculty in administrative
positions was updated in the Human Resources Policy and Procedure #4.0 in
2009. The proposed revision to GR II makes the GR language consistent with the
Human Resources policy with respect to faculty eligibility to vote for and serve as
elected members ofthe Board of Trustees.
• Section A.6(g) - In June 2005, the Board of Trustees increased from $100,000 to
$400,000, the threshold amount for gifts to the University that must be accepted
by the Board. That language was inadvertently omitted from the GR during a
later revision. The proposed revision adds the gift threshold amount back into the
GR.

Corporation of Alpha Phi Intemational Fratemity, Inc. for 4l5-4l7 Columbia Avenue,
Lexington, Kentucky. While it says fratemity, in actuality, this is a sorority. The land would be
swapped from those addresses that used to house the Math Excel program to make way for this
sorority. The Math Excel program, as was discussed earlier at the Finance Committee meeting,
will have better facilities than what they currently occupy. On behalf of the Finance Committee,
he moved adoption of FCR 3. Mr. Fielden seconded the motion. Dr. Brockman asked for any
questions and recognized Ms. Brothers.
Ms. Brothers noted that the Board is giving the Executive Vice President for Finance and
Administration the authority to negotiate and execute the lease. She asked that a report be given
back to the Board. When this happened to University Lofts, there was no report back to the
Board to let the Board know that the property had been acquired. In approving this
